Is it possible to do without pulling the whole right side brace? I'm following Saab Plantinoff directions on a engine removal, but I can't see how it is possible to get a 22mm wrench on these bolts.... Without removal of the passengers side brace deal. On platinoff's site it seems his is either out of the way or not present...

(Doing this in the garage at home, so trying to minimize the amount of stuff I am pulling apart)

You have a pic? The only oil "lines" go to and from the external oil cooler, and the place to disconnect that is at the o-ring seal on the engine side. Each line's tabs overlap one another and are held in place by one much smaller nut in the center. Remove that center nut and pull. All the other oil passages are internal.

depends on the year

i think he has the early style threaded hydraulic lines

it can be done in the car, but usually the lines are ceased so it makes it very difficult

Sounds good, thanks guys. Just have to remove the A/C compressor once I do that and I can pull the ECU harness wiring and pull the engine out (maybe another plug or two). Is it necessary to actually tap the axle on the passenger side off the shaft? (I am pulling it with the trans attached).
